Coming into the 2022 U.S. Open in Brookline, Ma., some thought Matt Fitzpatrick might have the chops to pull off the surprise and win the whole thing.
When a bunch of the familiar suspects missed the cut, the door was open for someone like Fitzpatrick (+3000 to win the tournament beforehand with Tipico Sportsbook) and he started to seize the day. Fitzpatrick, who played in the final group on Sunday, tapped in for par on the 18th hole and then won the U.S. Open by a stroke after Will Zalatoris missed a birdie putt that would have sent it to a playoff.
